The female worgen dance appears to have finally been finished and put into the latest beta build. She is going to be doing Lady Gaga's Poker Face. Wowhead has datamined the dance out of the latest patch files and has a few animated .gifs up on its site showing the dance moves. You can also see it in the video above.
For those of you keeping score at home, the female worgen model has been delayed, put in, pulled out and generally not finished for most of the beta. It appears Blizzard is starting to get things ready for Cataclysm's ship date. Now, if only it would fix the really strange way her jaws sit.

I don't see the resemblance.

"at least the song wont start playing out your speakers whenever someone does the /dance emote"
It will with the right add-on.

@Oni
there is one on live, it's called soundtrack. (basically you can set music to play during certain events such as Boss fights, Zones (I once had Traverse Town music in Dalaran) and yes whenever you do /dance) But ST is currently broken in 4.0

Another win for the Goblins. :)

Out of all the great dances by Gaga, and any other number of female pop/R&B artists, this obscure one? Then missing the mark with male worgen who could have had Thriller, and they chose Justin Timberlake and the first hit from Lady Gaga with tit and vag slapping?
Weird choices, Blizz, that's all I have to say.
Kylenne Oct 27th 2010 7:23PM
Seriously, Poker Face doesn't even have Gaga's best dance moves IMO.
NielsdeJONG Oct 27th 2010 7:43PM
You mean the leper Gnomes? :)
Thanos73 Oct 27th 2010 7:49PM
Are you kidding, the goblin dances are just as fail as this.
Felix_NZ Oct 27th 2010 8:00PM
Will definitely be rolling 1 of each new race in Cata. Worgens, I don't care what sex I'll be making them, as neither of them appeal to me greatly in look and animation character. With the Goblins, I just can't decide, They're both so awesome!

@Reverant
I agree. It looks like a naughtier version of the macarena. I'm sure most alliance boys will appreciate the boob jiggling. However, from an artistic aspect I'm sure they could have picked any one of a dozen dances. In actuality the wow community should have some say in the dances. Maybe they can have some kind of contest where fans can submit ideas and they pick the best 2-3 and vote on them. After all it's a cosmetic part of the game and we will be stuck with these things forever (or til dance studio comes out-whichever comes first :p) As for goblins winning- I would have to agree. Sadly. First the mounts, now the dances. Ah well, there is always the racials. Oh wait-

So are you suggesting when Goblins start dancing sprout an exta pairs of arms that tries to grab the toons ankles as well, Thanos73?
Hollow Leviathan Oct 27th 2010 10:45PM
@Kylenne Exactly what I was thinking. Bad Romance IMO, but Alejandro or Telephone would do nicely. At the very least the dance should have the classic eye-peep move.
Blacknimbus Oct 28th 2010 12:18AM
Exactly.
Especially since the Male Worgen is sashaying to Timberlake.
I liked Lady Gaga better when she was Madonna.
Xid Oct 28th 2010 7:16AM
I don't get why people are so shocked by the "boob and crotch grabbing/slapping". If you look at modern and hip-hop choreography in general you'll see a lot of "put your hands on your chest or near your crotch" moves. It's not just Gaga. Look at the night elf male dance - who else was better known for grabbing his crotch than Michael Jackson?
Ice Oct 27th 2010 5:51PM
Not sure could that be praised on choreography. I mean animation is okay and all but the dance is little bit "wait what" to me. I sure hope this wasnt why we waited for year to see worgen females on action.
I dont know, so far they dances for new races feel strong "meh, okayish". When I first saw draenei and belf dances (specially male references etc) I was very excited back in the day but these.. not so much. Maybe the interests have shifted to things like voice acting over the years, I dont know.
Zuckerdachs Oct 27th 2010 5:56PM
Nah, you're right, this is pretty bad. I don't look at werewolves and go "Oh hey, I hope she'll slap her boobs and vag sometime soon."
kabshiel Oct 27th 2010 5:51PM
It looks good, but Bad Romance was much more fitting.
